The area of a circle is 1.5386 square centimeters. What is the circle's radius? Use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. \( \square \) centimeters

To find the radius of a circle given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Where: - \( A \) is the area, - \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14, - \( r \) is the radius. **Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Start with the area formula:** \[ 1.5386 = 3.14 \times r^2 \] 2. **Solve for \( r^2 \):** \[ r^2 = \frac{1.5386}{3.14} = 0.49 \] 3. **Take the square root of both sides to find \( r \):** \[ r = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7 \text{ cm} \] 4. **Round to the nearest hundredth:** \[ r = 0.70 \text{ cm} \] **Answer:** \( 0.70 \) centimeters
